"Muscle Differences
The different hand positions between the hammer curl and preacher curl exercises are what change the muscle focus. The palms-up position in the preacher curl causes your biceps brachii and brachialis muscles to contract. The biceps is the largest muscle in the front of your upper arm. The palms-in position during the hammer curl uses the brachioradialis muscle. This muscle begins on the lower portion of your upper arm, crosses over your elbow and attaches near your wrist."

Is there much difference in terms of exercise? I find I can lift slightly more on the Z bar but it leaves me with a pain about 6 inches up from my wrists. The alternating hammer grip is more comfortable grip wise but I'm lifting less.
